Hi, I have created simple custom nodes to send messages in Node RED. I'm facing issue when I modify the flow and deploy it. Changes wont get reflected first time. If I delete the changes and make same changes again, then it works. For example if I have a flow with nodes x, y , z with x -> y -> z an…

[image] chiru: Note : The issue doesn't occur always but it occurs frequently probably a race condition because you are attempting to send before the node is fully created (i.e. before the current block is finished) and, more importantly, before Node-RED has emitted its update events. As a t…

[image] chiru: I'm building Node RED from source. If you try it on a normal install of node red do you see the same problem? [image] chiru: this change doesn't get reflected first time. But if I delete node a and again add it second time, then it works What do you mean by 'does not ge…

Thank you for the reply. If you try it on a normal install of node red do you see the same problem? I will try this normal install and check. What do you mean by 'does not get reflected`? What exact symptom are you seeing? When I make new connection a->y to the existing working flow x->y->z …

[image] chiru: When I make new connection a->y to the existing working flow x->y->z and deploy this new flow, the messages from node a are not sent to node y and the logs I have added in node a are not printed. Is this related to your previous post in which you are trying to send a message wh…

No, this is a different issue. This is not related to my previous post. I'm trying to send message under normal circumstances here.

In that case try it with the standard node-red and let us know the result.

sure, I will check and let you know.

I am facing the same issue with standard node-red too.

You will have to provide more detail as your current description is hard to understand. Remember, we cannot see what you see and you havent linked us to a code repo or shown any code. Can you provide a gif or series of pictures (with annotations) that clearly describe your issue?

I will share the github repo link for the code I have used soon

Under what circumstance does your node send messages? Is it when it receives a message? If it is then add logging into that code to see where it is failing.

Is this related to your previous post in which you are trying to send a message when a new connection is made rather than under more normal circumstances? If so then I suggest continuing this on the original thread as it appears that the technique used to achieve that is not functioning as expected.
